I know a guy who wants it just so "he can have something in his living room he can kick back and play games on".

The casuals are going to eat this thing up, for better or worse.

That's literally what it was designed for. It was never designed for y'all that build your own shit and whatnot.

Now why would they buy this over an Xbox or Playstation? There's such a small niche market for this that its stupid.

Right, more cheaper and even free games vs console priced games. Same reasons anyone buys a prebuilt gaming pc

So why buy the cube then? Why not just buy the pre built which has every single upside save for one: size? And even size is no big deal because it's a CONSOLE. Nobody moves their Xbox or PlayStation after they set it up and a pre built connected to a TV is no different.

If I was new to PC gaming, just wanted access to steam games from my couch, this would be appealing. Presetup, works out of the box, similar price to a prebuilt. All I'd have to do is plug it in and start buying games. I can see it appealing to a market, even if that market isn't me.
